Struggles make us stronger?

I've been struggling a lot lately it seems. With a lot of things. My lack of a serious relationship, lack of enjoyment at my job, feeling lonely... so many things.

Today everything hit the breaking point. And I spent the afternoon in tears as I went through my day. I was texting a friend when I was reminded that it's not all bad. The last several weeks have shown me that I am stronger than I thought I was. I've learned to be uber patient. To hold my tongue and put my best foot forward.

All this is true.

But it's also true that I've learned to listen to that quiet inner voice. Finally.

And so I picked up the phone and made a call I should have made weeks ago.

Now, I'm much less stressed and anxious. I feel like I have a plan. I'm making strides to leave this negativity behind.

Sigh. Finally.
